At first, try learning kana. Hiragana's more important and you'll use that a lot more often than katakana, so learn that first. Try buying things that'll help you learn Japanese, since a lot of the time they do help, and if you don't use them, you'll feel bad about wasting money, and so do them.
Try looking for websites which help teach Japanese, and try to get the grammar down, since it's really different from languages such as English. Verbs generally come at the end of the sentence.
For verbs, begin with desu, which basically means is/am/are, as well as its other forms. Deshita is the past tense of that.
Wa is the topic marker, but you can just assume that it's a subject marker while you're learning.
Like for example:
Watashi wa Arumudaumu desu.
I (topic marker) Arumdaum am.
Watashi, which means I, is the subject, wa comes after the topic, Arumdaum is the object, and desu is the verb.
If you can, try buying baby's books in Japanese.
Kids manga are good too. Doraemon and a dictionary served me well.
